Six Ages: Ride Like The Wind was a spiritual successor to 1999’s cult classic King Of Dragon Pass, created by some of that game’s former developers. Six Ages is now receiving its own proper successor later this summer, developer A Sharp and publisher Kitfox have announced. Just like its predecessor, Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out is a blend of tribal management and choose your own adventure drills, all wrapped up in some gorgeous fantasy illustrations.
Popular characters from the world of Dungeons & Dragons and Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer’s voice will be making their way onto the Multiversal Plane in Dragonheir: Silent Gods in the coming two years as the fantasy adventure title releases in the second half of 2023.
International Publisher and developer Nuverse and SGRA Studio announced a collaboration with Wizards of the Coast, a division of Hasbro, Inc, that will bring Dungeons & Dragons characters into their upcoming multiversal RPG Dragonheir: Silent Gods later this year.
This post-launch content will appear as seasonal updates that expand the multiverse with new locations to explore, enemies to slay, and other well-known characters from the Dungeons & Dragons lore.
In order to defeat their opponents, players must engage with strategic, turn-based combat, combining their adventurer party’s strengths and synergies to unleash powerful magic and merciless steel on monsters of all kinds and sizes. Dice rolls play a major role in Dragonheir: Silent Gods’ combat, enhancing gameplay and adding a stroke of luck to every situation adventurers might find themselves in.
As part of the licensed collaboration with Wizards of the Coast, popular characters from the Dungeons & Dragons lore will appear on the multiversal plane in Dragonheir: Silent Gods. Erttu, the menacing balar demon who revels in chaos and destruction will reign havoc on the denizens of Adenthia. To challenge his demonic reign, adventurers must enlist the help of Drizzt Do’Urden, a drow ranger and fabled hero of the North known for fighting against the dark powers.
Set in the magical high fantasy open world of Adenthia, Dragonheir: Silent Gods allows players to take on the mantle of The Chosen One and fight against the tyrant three-headed dragon alongside adventurers from all corners of the multiverse, exploring ancient caverns and unraveling secrets as they forge their own story.
“We are beyond excited to be working with Wizards of the Coast to bring iconic Dungeons & Dragons characters into our game.” said Sagi, Lead Developer at SGRA Studio. “All of us at SGRA have been fans of Dungeons & Dragons for years now, and only dreamed of creating stories about legends such as Erttu and Drizzt, let alone being able to directly bring them into our game! We cannot wait to see players forge their own legends – Dragonheir: Silent Gods is our love letter to high fantasy RPGs and we’re excited to release the game later this year.”
“SGRA are an enthusiastic team of Dungeons & Dragons and fantasy fans, and we believe their passion combined with industry experience will make Dragonheir: Silent Gods exceptional and unique.” Spokesperson at Nuverse commented. “Nuverse is committed to bringing high-quality game experiences to players around the globe, and we believe Dragonheir: Silent Gods is a great example of a game that will excite and intrigue.”
“Dungeons & Dragons is a beloved IP for players all around the world, and we have exciting and ambitious plans to expand its reach into new media spaces.” said Eugene Evans, Wizards of the Coast, SVP Business Development & Digital Licensing. “This is an exciting time for the brand, and we’re thrilled to bring the characters of Dungeons & Dragons to life with new audiences, and have found great gaming partners in SGRA and Nuverse. The IP integration strategy of Nuverse combined with SGRA’s passion and dedication to quality content create a collaboration we are excited to be an integral part of.”
Last but not least, the legendary Dungeon Master and one of the most prominent figures in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, Matthew Mercer, will be lending his voice to Dragonheir: Silent Gods. In addition, a series of collaborative activities within and beyond the game will be launched. According to Matthew, if you’re a fantasy RPG fan, and are looking for the next title you can play on PC and Mobile devices, check out the new title Dragonheir!
Dragonheir: Silent Gods will release on PC and mobile devices in the second half of 2023. For more information, visit the game’s official website or follow Dragonheir: Silent Gods on Discord, Facebook and YouTube.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor last week, I can tell you it is exactly what you probably already thought it would be: a competent, big-budget action-adventure sequel, well made by talented people, that isn’t breaking the mould but expands upon the first game in the areas you liked best. If, like myself, you enjoyed Jedi: Fallen Order, this will probably be a solid follow-up for you. But if you were less well disposed towards that first game, you’d probably want to swap “consistent” for the word “predictable”.
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator – have released its next game, although game (singular) might be inaccurate. Landfall Archives is a digital museum of sorts, compiling 23 playable prototypes and demos from unreleased projects that never crossed the finish line. It’s out now, and best of all, it’s free.
Policy change extends free Joy-Con drift repairs to new territories.
Nintendo will now offer free repairs of faulty Joy-Con to Switch owners in the UK, European Economic Area, and Switzerland.
This is according to an update to the company’s support page on its UK site (which appears to be reflected on other official sites across affected territories), which labels the now-infamous ‘Joy-Con drift’ as “responsiveness syndrome or so-called ‘drifting'”.
If you have ever read up on the history of Nintendo, you know that before it went into the video game business, the company began life by making cards and other novelties. The hanafuda and playing cards which Nintendo produced from its formation in 1889 took a back seat following the popularity of toys like the Ultra Hand in the 1960s, and the company would soon move into electronic games and, ultimately, arcade and video games.
But this is not to say that the company left cards behind completely. Nintendo-branded Japanese Menko cards were released in Japan in the early 1980s and collector Ben Gilmore has a sizeable colletion of these lesser-known Nintendo-branded cards. This milk cap/Pog-like tabletop game is older than Nintendo itself, and there are Nintendo Menkos with Mario designs that date from the plumber’s pre-NES arcade days.
The start of this week saw the closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops, a sad time for all of us, many of whom spent last weekend feeling a little sentimental about all of the brilliant games that we would be losing as we attempted to download as many titles as possible (not speaking from personal experience, of course). But what does this closure mean for the 3DS’ other features? Just three months into what we declared “the year of 3DS StreetPass,” could the feature really be dying just as we were getting started?
This is the precise question that our lovely video producer, Zion, attempted to answer this week. As many of you may be aware, Zion has been making a public push for the return of StreetPass ever since the start of 2023 — we even held a StreetPass event at this year’s PAX West. Aside from providing an update on how this journey has been going so far, the latest video explains the reality of Streetpass in 2023, how the eShop closure has affected the feature, and what its future might look like.
Hello folks! We made it through April Fools’ Day, so it’s time to say: welcome to another edition of Box Art Brawl!
First off, let’s have a quick look back at last week’s tussle. Super Mario Bros. 2 (or Super Mario USA) took to the stage, and while it was fairly close, Japan won this fight with 59% of the vote. We’re fans off both, so we’re not disappointed with the result at all.
